Default Making or acquiring a 26mm end mill holder?

I don't know the guy from Adam but a 97.7% positive feedback on 46,400 transactions is not to shabby especially on a $ 25 item. Mind you, I am
not endorsing anyone and I was not trying to steer you to this particular seller, just "the means" of doing what you wanted to get done.

Then buy collets as required.


Yes, the ER40 does go to 26mm. But I like Michael's bushing idea better for
adapting the shank to a larger end mill holder.

As for the Ebay source linked above...

Unfortunately, "800watt" is one of the few sellers on Ebay who carries a
wide range of inexpensive new import tooling (like the Morse taper collets
I've been looking for). But his feedback rating is questionable, with lots
of negatives for non-delivery after payment and no replies to email. And he
pads his sales with his S&H fees. From what I understand, his idea of
combining shipping is to just knock one or two dollars off the per item S&H
fee.

I myself have tried contacting him and have not been impressed with his
communication (more specifically, his lack thereof). I prefer to avoid Ebay
sellers like that.
